Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Parameters Of True Dedication
Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 11 August 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Parameters Of True Dedication
TOPIC: Parameters Of True Dedication (Seeds Of Destiny 11 August 2024)
SCRIPTURE: And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD. – Genesis 19:27
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Dedication implies a life that is totally owned by God.
MESSAGE:
It has been confirmed that understanding is key to manifestation. Understanding is also key to possibilities. What you can show is a function of what you know. On the other hand, ignorance is a major reason for stagnation and struggle in life.
Now, one reason why many people are not truly dedicated to God is their ignorance of what dedication is all about.
Therefore, in our study today, we shall look at what dedication is all about so we can be truly dedicated to God.
Now, what is dedication?
Dedication means:
i) Total submission to God.
Dedication implies a life that is totally owned by God. It is an understanding that your life is not yours, but God’s, and so, you deliberately and totally submit yourself to Him.
In Galatians 2:20, Paul said,
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
This confirms what dedication means; total submission to God. It is allowing God to be in charge of your life.
ii) Addiction to God.
Dedication also means addiction to God. This is a situation where you literally live on God. It is a situation where your life runs on God just the way cars run on fuel. You run on God and you cannot survive without Him, just the way cocaine addicts cannot survive without taking cocaine.
Philippians 1:21 says,
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
To Paul, living is all about Christ, and without Christ, he could not survive. That is true dedication.
iii). Donation to God.
Dedication to God means a life totally given to God. It is a life that God is totally in control of. It is a life “wasted” on God.
Beloved, it is important to ask yourself: Does God truly own my life? Does my life depend on God just as cars depend on fuel? Is God in total control of my life?
This is my counsel to you: critically assess your life to know if you are truly dedicated to God.
Remember this: Dedication implies a life that is totally owned by God.
ASSIGNMENT:
- Make up your mind to totally submit your life to God .
- Allow God to take the centre stage of your life.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for Your Word to me today. I receive the grace to be truly and fully dedicated to You, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: Any person, who does not carry your fire, cannot accommodate your future. Conviction must be the reason for association. A man that does not have a similar conviction does not have a similar destination. Culled from the book, “15 Kingdom Strategies For Survival” by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Jeremiah 16-18.
AMAZING FACT: A horse normally has more than one horsepower. A study in 1993 showed that the maximum power a horse can produce is 18,000W, around 24 horsepower.
